Senators will judge the specific provisions of this section for themselves, however, there is one issue with regard to vehicle and driver standards that I would like to highlight. That is the question of the degree to which taxis will be tasked to meet the needs of people with disabilities, particularly those who are confined to wheelchairs. In the context of that provision, I refer the House to a consultation paper issued by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government in February 2002. That paper, and the responses to it, informed the preparation and focus of the Bill.
